Sukta 32
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī; commonly treated as Atharvan/Angiras-type healing corpus).
Devata: Āditya (Sun) as kṛmi-slayer; raśmi as his operative power.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh tendency (fragmentary in the provided text; full metrical confirmation requires the complete mantra sequence).
《阿闼婆吠陀》2.32是一首“灭蠕”（kṛmi-nāśana）的疗愈咒，召动阿底提耶（太阳）升起与落下的光线，使其化为灼烧、搜寻的武器，用以攻伐体内寄生虫，尤以侵害牛群者为要。此歌将太阳的净化力与阿闼婆系“言语即药”的传统合而为一，宣称咒语之梵力（brahman）能粉碎并驱逐一切类别的kṛmi——内在的、周遭的、巨大的与微小的——从而复苏生命力与繁殖、产出。

क्रिमिनाशनम्। उ॒द्यन्ना॑दि॒त्यः क्रिमी॑न् हन्तु नि॒म्रोच॑न् हन्तु र॒श्मिभिः॑ । ये अ॒न्तः क्रिम॑यो॒ गवि॑

如阿特里（Atri）一般，我击杀你们，诸蠕虫；如迦ṇ婆（Kaṇva），如阇摩达耆尼（Jamadagni）。凭阿伽斯提耶（Agastya）之梵咒，我将你们彻底碾碎——我，碾压诸蠕虫，使之伏倒。

Frequently Asked Questions
